Beschreibung
Few themes in history have had as strong a hold on people's imagination. Fewer still have managed to alter the course of civilization.This is Charles Allen's definitive account of the Aryans, offering a grand sweep of language, mythology, contested histories and conflict. Spanning continents, cultures and societies: from the Russian steppe to the Indus valley, the Iliad to the Mahabharata, Greek to Sanskrit, Putin to Trump, and M ller to Vivekananda, Aryans astonishes with its scope. Allen, true to a style that has endeared him to a legion of admirers, weaves a narrative that is startling and illuminating.Product of a great investigation and meticulous scholarship, Allen's last book, is his crowning achievement and marks the end of an illustrious career.
